IMPORTANT MESSAGE for Featherston residents on town water supply

South Wairarapa District Council

8.30am, Sunday 12 December - Update - The water plant worked overnight to refill the reservoir so residents can use water as normal now. With all the rain today we don't expect people to be watering their gardens anyway, and the alternate days watering policy still applies - odd number properties on odd number days and evens on evens. Thank you to those who shared the message last night.
...................................
Original message - Please minimise water use as much as possible overnight. We have a Wellington Water technician at the supply plant monitoring things closely, following an issue with the plant stopping. It takes 4 hours to get the plant started again so it would be helpful if residents could limit water use to essential use only until everything is back to normal. We'll share a further update in the morning. Thanks for your co-operation.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
